Bob Bradshaw - A Sedona Landscape Retrospect Exhibition
on display at the Creative Life Center during the Symposium
| When Bob came to Sedona back in 1945 there wasn't much here. He was the first to offer tours of the Sedona Red Rocks on horseback, and created what is now known as the "Broken Arrow" trail. When Jeff Chandler and Jimmy Stewart starred in Broken Arrow (1950), Bob helped widen the horse-trail so they could get movie supplies to the film site. He also served as Stewart's stuntman and double in the film. Although commercial Jeeps started driving tours on the Broken Arrow trail in 1958, the trail remained virtually unchanged until 1985. Over the next 50 years many films were made in Sedona and Bob was a part of most of them, serving as location scout, stuntman, and even actor. He built the first western town for use in the booming Movie Industry (located beneath Coffee Pot Rock), and was one of the first Marlboro Men. Many believed he lived to such a ripe old age because he never actually smoked. Bob Bradshaw is also one of the renowned early photographers of Sedona and you'll see his work all over Sedona and Arizona. For many years he contributed images to Arizona Highways.

It has been widely credited that early photographic pioneers greatly influenced the creation of the national park system. Who were these individuals? What impacts have they and their images have had in the conservational movement in these early years of the park system? The barriers these photographers encountered were great and the results of their work have become a part of American history.

Sedona International Film Festival Photofest Cinema Night
Resurrection: Glen Canyon and A New Vision for the American West
|
|
 |
Based on the book of the same name; Resurrection - Glen Canyon and a New Vision for the American West, this film showcases the spectacular ecological rebirth of Glen Canyon as the water level of Lake Powell has receded due to a decade of drought. Produced by photographer James Kay after his five-year project to document the reemergence of these legendary canyons, the film combines over one hundred images of the restored canyons with historical film clips from Glen Canyon before it was flooded and offers insight into present-day concerns about the West's diminishing water resources and how climate change may already be affecting the over- |
|
|
allocated waters of the Colorado River system. The film concludes with a hopeful message for the future of the West and its rivers and describes how a decision to protect a reemerging Glen Canyon could encourage a cultural and political shift toward environmentally sustainable lifestyles and business practices in the United States. |

Ansel Adams: A Documentary Film is written and directed by Ric Burns and co-produced by Sierra Club Productions and Steeplechase Films. For the centennial of the artist's birth, Burns has created an elegant, moving, and lyrical portrait of this quintessentially American photographer. The documentary weaves together archival footage, photographic images, dramatic readings of the artist's own writing, and interviews with leading photographers, historians, curators, naturalists, as well as Adams's family, friends, and colleagues, to tell the story of a man who was at once a visionary photographer, a pioneer in photographic technique, and an ardent crusader
for the cause of environmentalism.
